Pudding Pops used to be some dang good eating.
I had a serious Pudding Pop problem when i was a kid in the 80s.. seriously, my mom stopped buying them becuase I couldn’t control myself , when i was home in the summer on a hot day, id go thru easily a half dozen of them.. and i had a certain way of eating them, each Pudding Pop was coated with a thin layer of ice that id scrape off with my teeth, then id eat the Pop itself.. saw them in a store circa 10 yrs ago and bought some for nostalgia purposes, and of course they didnt taste the same .

My wife immigrated to America when she was 10 from Venezuela and cried the first time she saw an American grocery store.
American's really are spoiled, and have no idea what it's like to want for anything of necessity.

Let's add a bit to the backstory.
By choosing to go to a Randall's he didn't see a store that sold alcohol, because Randalls sold NO liquor, beer or wine.
Imagine if he'd gone in a Schwegmans, and seen the price of their name brand vodka as well as all the other Vodka brands they sold back then.
Man would have broke down and cried.

After watching that Russian grocery store video how in the hell does a Russian spy that lives for any time in the United States go back to that dump piece of shite of a country? Like the show The Amerikans. Can’t believe they wanted to go back to ‘Mother Russia.’

This was a very common tactic utilized by the CIA to illustrate the bounty of the USA enjoyed by our normal citizenry. It was and is a very effective tool in their arsenal.

The American media labeled Gorbachev a “good” communist, but did their best to convince people that Yeltsin was a dangerous drunk that couldn’t be trusted.
Well Yeltsin was an alcoholic who as head of the RFSR saw an opportunity to seize power by going behind Gorbachev's back. Regardless of how it's looked at now, for a variety of reasons at the time the Bush administration did not want a breakup of the USSR.

I went to USSR in 1990 for 24 days, was a sophomore in HS. I went to a grocery in Moscow, you could smell the stink before you walked in. They had plenty of the basics, but only basics. We stayed a weekend at a country home of a member of the party. Ate like kings.

During those times the general public couldn't buy alcohol legally. We could in our hotel at 16

My how the tables have turned.
I remember watching footage of Soviet Russia, with their lines, empty shelves, lack of choice, etc... and yet here we are with outrageous inflation and supply issues with vehicles, food, building materials, etc.

This would be a great lesson for a modern high school history class.

A Russian and an American went to hell. Satan let them choose Russian hell or American hell.
"What's the difference?" they asked.
'Well, says Satan. 'In American hell you have to eat a shovel load of shite once per day. The rest of your time is your own. In Russian hell you have to eat two shovel loads of shite, and the rest of your time is your own."
"That seems easy," says the American, "I choose American hell." The Russian surprised the American by immediately choosing Russian hell.
Years later, the American found a gap in the wall dividing the two hells and was able to talk to the Russian. "Why did you pick Russian hell? American hell is just great. We choke down our shovel load of shite each day and then we're free to do what we want."
"Comrade," replied the Russian, "in Russian hell, most days they are out of shite to eat, and when they have it the line is so long I don't get any."
